Use the Prompt

Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an interactive frontend prototype using the existing project stack and explicitly labeled demo data for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Issue Triage Inbox.

Required content and structure

Let a team sort incoming issues by severity, owner and status with a reading pane.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: warm white, ink text and restrained mint selected states; generous spacing and simple controls. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Prepare issues with severity, owner, status, unread state and enough content for a reading pane. Define which actions change assignment versus resolution.

Layout and behavior

Keep the selected issue clear in both the list and detail pane. Use severity to guide triage while showing unread and unresolved as separate properties.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Preserve selection after filtering and distinguish unread from unresolved.
  • Apply a filter while an issue is open, then resolve or reassign it.
  • The next selection should be predictable, and a read issue must not disappear as though it were resolved.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Issue Triage Inbox. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Let a team sort incoming issues by severity, owner and status with a reading pane. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Keep the selected issue clear in both the list and detail pane. Use severity to guide triage while showing unread and unresolved as separate properties.

Interaction specification

The reference is a static concept: the behavior below is a requirement to implement, not proof that the picture already works. Copy the customized prompt into your working project. Start with the core task: Let a team sort incoming issues by severity, owner and status with a reading pane. Preserve selection after filtering and distinguish unread from unresolved. For each visible control, specify its trigger, affected state and feedback; implement local changes with consistent state across related views. Give search and filters real results, selection controls an explicit active state, and save actions visible pending/success/failure feedback where relevant. Do not add unrelated workflows. Use proper links for navigation, buttons for actions and accessible names for icon controls. Do not imply a backend operation succeeded when only a local demo changed.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write an Issue Triage Inbox Design Prompt

Use this issue triage inbox design prompt to let a team sort incoming issues by severity, owner and status with a reading pane.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Separate Attention from Resolution

An issue triage inbox organizes what needs inspection and who owns the next action.

AI-generated visual concept for issue triage inbox
Issue Triage Inbox — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Unread status is about attention; severity and resolution describe different properties. Keep the selected issue clear in both the list and detail pane. Use severity to guide triage while showing unread and unresolved as separate properties.

From the Prompt

Keep the selected issue clear in both the list and detail pane.

Make It Your Own

Show [SEVERITY], [OWNER] and [STATUS] independently in the issue list and reading pane. Preserve the active issue when filtering if it remains in the result set.

Prepare the Issue Triage Inbox Content

The queue combines filters with issue severity, ownership and status. Define these fields and their sorting behavior so triage order reflects an explicit rule.

Prepare issues with severity, owner, status, unread state and enough content for a reading pane. Define which actions change assignment versus resolution.

From the Prompt

Let a team sort incoming issues by severity, owner and status with a reading pane.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this issue triage inbox. Prepare issues with severity, owner, status, unread state and enough content for a reading pane. Define which actions change assignment versus resolution. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Test a Read but Unresolved Issue

The selected issue displays reproduction steps, expected and actual results plus environment details. Check that assignment and status changes preserve this diagnostic context.

Opening an issue may clear unread status but must not mark it resolved. If a filter removes the selected issue, explain the empty pane instead of silently opening another record. Apply a filter while an issue is open, then resolve or reassign it. The next selection should be predictable, and a read issue must not disappear as though it were resolved.

From the Prompt

Preserve selection after filtering and distinguish unread from unresolved.

Make It Your Own

Review the issue triage inbox against this requirement: Preserve selection after filtering and distinguish unread from unresolved. Apply a filter while an issue is open, then resolve or reassign it. The next selection should be predictable, and a read issue must not disappear as though it were resolved. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Issue Triage Inbox Result

A convincing screen is not a working backend. Test validation, permissions, persistence and failure behavior separately before connecting real data.

  • Apply a filter while an issue is open, then resolve or reassign it. The next selection should be predictable, and a read issue must not disappear as though it were resolved.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current issue triage inbox. Apply a filter while an issue is open, then resolve or reassign it. The next selection should be predictable, and a read issue must not disappear as though it were resolved. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
